Donald Trump gives Iran a deadline. Iran must open the Strait of Hormuz. This is an important water way for ships. Many ships bring oil to other countries there. Iran blocks this path for some time now.
Trump threatens with hard results. If the path stays closed, the USA attacks. They want to destroy power plants in Iran then. Trump wrote this on his Internet page. The deadline lasts 48 hours.
Iran answers with its own threats. The country wants to attack USA sites then. Sites of USA partners are also targets. Water plants belong to these sites. There is much conflict and fear in the region.
The stock markets have big worries. The price for oil rose strongly. One barrel of oil costs over 110 dollars now. Many people fear a big war. Reza Pahlavi also spoke up.
Reza Pahlavi is the son of the former Shah. He asks Trump for care. Trump should not attack civil sites. Civil sites are important for the people. He wants to protect the people in Iran.
